Introduction: Burkitt’s lymphoma is a non- Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma whose cranial location is extremely rare. Clinical case: The case of a 35-year-old Peruvian man with a progressive parietal left cranial tumor is described. A biopsy with immunohistochemistry was performed for the diagnostic confirmation of Burkitt’s lymphoma. First-line outpatient treatment with CODOX-M/IVAC was initiated, however, he stopped attending his treatment for 2 months. He returns, he is shown progression of the disease and is treated with rituximab, ifosfamide carboplatin and etoposide. Does not respond satisfactorily and dies. Conclusions: Burkitt’s lymphoma is a very aggressive tumor that, if not treated in a timely manner, has high mortality, as happened with the patient in the case.
